The brilliant and inspirational sportsman Justin Bethel is a professional Football cornerback and special teamer who plays for the New England Patriots of the NFL. Away from the gridiron he is the co-founder of the Kandiidofficial app, as well as The Beating All Odds Foundation, a non-profit organisation set up to assist people and organisations to be a positive influence in the community or provide a service that benefits others.
Born and raised in South Carolina, Bethel proved to be a natural on the Football field at a young age. After High School he played college Football at the Presbyterian College where he was named to the Big South Conference All-Conference Second-Team Defensive squad. He caught the attention of pro scouts and was eventually selected by the Arizona Cardinals in the 2012 NFL Draft on a four-year rookie contract. He had a hugely successful time with the Cardinals being named 2x First-team All-Pro 2013 and 2015, and 3x Pro Bowl 2013-2015. He remained with the side until the end of the 2017 season, and in March 2018 he signed with the Atlanta Falcons. A year later he signed a two-year contract with the Baltimore Ravens. However, he was released in October the same year and subsequently joined the New England Patriots, signing a two-year contract. In March 2021 he re-signed with the Patriots on a three-year, $6 million contract.
Bethel regularly connects with his legions of followers and fans through Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, posting pictures and videos of his life around the gridiron. He is also available for that personalised shout-out via the Cameo platform, and has an official website, justbethel.com.
